"Toggle" option for window modifier key

ColeOP

Hi there! I have loved using Tangrid so far. I had one request: would it be possible to include an option to have the modifier key act as a "toggle" to enable the window resizing screen? i.e. instead of requiring the modifier key to be held the entire time you are click-dragging the window around, the option would allow you to press the modifier key once and the UI remain on screen until you release click-dragging.

My use case: I have noticed myself occasionally (well maybe more than occasionally on some days 😄) letting go of the modifier key before releasing my finger from my trackpad instead of the opposite/intended, causing it to not successfully snap the window.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Are you using Snap Assistant mode?

Right now, it does require releasing the mouse first, then the modifier key, otherwise the snap won't trigger. Making the modifier key work as a toggle would be more like entering an edit mode, which could add some extra complexity.

That said, the next version will be more forgiving. If you release the modifier key first, you will still have a short grace period, just a few tenths of a second, to release the mouse button and snap the window correctly.

Apologies, yes I'm using snap assist mode. I think the solution you mentioned (larger grace period) would resolve my issue either way.

Its literally just sometimes my brain gets the order backwards and releases the key before the mouse haha
